| AmigaOS4 Petunia benchmarks : Comment 75 of 80 | ANN.lu |

Who cares SpecINT and SpecFPU aren't neccessarily the best tests to convey what exact performance is. They're easy measure to relate the performance of the chips to one another. Unfortunately no one's done a PegasOS to AmigaOne performance evaluation yet. I'd say the same tests within Linux and perhaps within MoL should cover it. Thus, using Apple's machines and their posting, which are oh so more prevalent on the web, was to get a relative expectation of the performance for the 2 new machines and their 2 processors. Please don't try to make this exact.
Simply put what's your butt reaction? How are these machines going to feel when you're using them. Here's your performance the G3 and G4 will kick ass all over the 604e and the 060 machines, at least 3x the speed, and even more so against the 040/030 and 020 set. For most applications G3 and G4 are both at 800Mhz and will perform about the same, seat of pants remember. For those users that are graphically intesive users using programs such as ImageFX for image processing the performance relies on FPU calls more frequently. As such the G4's higher FPU rates should process your images faster and you'll get done with your project quicker. |
